Comment on: Blog Post 'Hi HR/Corporate Recruiter! It's Me, the "Different Agency Recruiter"?': t that if you have a name, the switchboard patches them right through to me). I have a select group of agencies that we work with--and for good reason. Coming from being the person selling on the other end to the person being sold to, I've noticed several things that can be done better (at least from my angle): 1. Know the business that you are calling. One of the things that gets me off the phone quicker is when I'm told that you have experience recruiting in rural areas (or experience in Alaska in general). First, big damn state with a lot of variety. Just because you've recruited in the two to three metropolitan areas in our state, does not mean you will be successful where I'm at. Second, are you sure you have experience in area's like mine? You're based in Dallas, yet you're telling me you are an expert at recruiting to a place completely off a road system, gas is $7/gal, 2/3 of the town is not on running, piped water and you can only get here from the nearest city (400 miles away) by plane (oh, and not to mention the 8 months of winter and 50 below wind-chill). Please tell me your expertise in rural (Alaskan) recruitment. 2. Build the rapport. I second Dane's suggestion. Build the rapport. 3. For the love of God, STOP SELLING. Seriously a major turn-off when an agency is selling the entire time we're talking. We're customers: we like to buy, but hate to be sold. 4. Don't be shady. Seriously, disguising your voice to get past my gatekeeper? Next time, try disguising yourself as the same sex, rather than the opposite. 5. Learn the contracting process. I control your shi**...understand that. Ask what the typical process is like. 6. Don't assume you know the person on the other line. A lot of companies make the right move and bring agency recruiters into their employ. Don't assume I'm just another HR dude that doesn't know what you do or the game that you spit. 7. Just because you name drop the HM, or former management that you worked with like 7 years ago, does not automatically get you a pass. The HM said you should call me, huh? And they suggested we get a contract together? Hmm...if it was such a desire to use you, they'll reach out to me. I've slapped them down enough with the process, they know who holds the keys. And 7 years ago? Please... 8. Befriend HR. Seriously, if a company's HR department is worth a salt, this is money. "But daddy, why?" you ask. Well, because we will either be your advocate or not. Understand that HR should and has authority to shut-it-down. If you get on HR's good side, you are most likely in like Flynn. My two cents for what it's worth.…; Added by Seth Lidren at 11:45am on May 30, 2013
